    About this ebook

    There is a great confusion in the market concerning positions
    for project professionals, and it is very common to see
    advertising opportunities for Project Managers that require
    academic expertise, PMP certification and extensive experience
    in projects.
     
    As well as vacancies for Project Managers where it is crucial
    that the professional has a great capacity to perform technical
    functions, such as software programming. These are just two
    superficial examples of how many people, especially the market
    is a bit confusing not only for the definition of the function
    name but mainly the functions to be performed by
    professionals.
     
    One of the great motivators for this whole mess is that there is
    no official definition, formally recognized about positions for
    project management professionals for the market as a whole,
    even as the post of Project Manager is relatively new, when a
    few years ago "naming" was not used to these days.
